Test setup with Virtual Box

To set up a test environment for DHCP server you need:

• Linux host machine
• Virtual Box
• Virtual machine (guest OS doesn't matter)

Configure client

1. Install Virtual Box and run the following command to create a Host-Only network:

    $ VBoxManage hostonlyif create
   

   You can check its status by ip a command.

   You can also set up Host-Only network using Virtual Box menu:

    File -> Host Network Manager...
   

2. Create your virtual machine and set up its network:

    VM Settings -> Network -> Host-only Adapter
   

3. Start your VM, install an OS. Configure your network interface to use DHCP and the OS should ask for a IP address from our DHCP server.

4. To see the current IP address on client OS you can use ip a command on Linux or ipconfig on Windows.

5. To force the client OS to request an IP from DHCP server again, you can use dhclient on Linux or ipconfig /release on Windows.

Configure server

1. Edit server configuration file 'AdGuardHome.yaml', for example:

    dhcp:
      enabled: true
      interface_name: vboxnet0
      dhcpv4:
        gateway_ip: 192.168.56.1
        subnet_mask: 255.255.255.0
        range_start: 192.168.56.2
        range_end: 192.168.56.2
        lease_duration: 86400
        icmp_timeout_msec: 1000
        options: []
      dhcpv6:
        range_start: 2001::1
        lease_duration: 86400
        ra_slaac_only: false
        ra_allow_slaac: false
   

2. Start the server

    ./AdGuardHome
   

   There should be a message in log which shows that DHCP server is ready:

    [info] DHCP: listening on 0.0.0.0:67

Functions

func CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV4

func CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV4(ifaceName string) (ok bool, err error)

CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV4 sends a DHCP request to the specified network interface, and waits for a response for a period defined by defaultDiscoverTime

func CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV6

func CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV6(ifaceName string) (ok bool, err error)

CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV6 sends a DHCP request to the specified network interface, and waits for a response for a period defined by defaultDiscoverTime

Types

type DHCPServer

type DHCPServer interface {
	// ResetLeases resets leases.
	ResetLeases(leases []*Lease) (err error)
	// GetLeases returns deep clones of the current leases.
	GetLeases(flags GetLeasesFlags) (leases []*Lease)
	// AddStaticLease - add a static lease
	AddStaticLease(l *Lease) (err error)
	// RemoveStaticLease - remove a static lease
	RemoveStaticLease(l *Lease) (err error)

DHCPServer - DHCP server interface

type GetLeasesFlags

type GetLeasesFlags uint8

GetLeasesFlags are the flags for GetLeases.

const (
	LeasesDynamic GetLeasesFlags = 0b0001
	LeasesStatic  GetLeasesFlags = 0b0010

	LeasesAll = LeasesDynamic | LeasesStatic
)

GetLeasesFlags values

type Lease

type Lease struct {
	// Expiry is the expiration time of the lease.  The unix timestamp value
	// of 1 means that this is a static lease.
	Expiry time.Time `json:"expires"`

	Hostname string           `json:"hostname"`
	HWAddr   net.HardwareAddr `json:"mac"`
	IP       net.IP           `json:"ip"`
}

Lease contains the necessary information about a DHCP lease

func (*Lease) Clone

func (l *Lease) Clone() (clone *Lease)

Clone returns a deep copy of l.

func (*Lease) IsBlocklisted

func (l *Lease) IsBlocklisted() (ok bool)

IsBlocklisted returns true if the lease is blocklisted.

TODO(a.garipov): Just make it a boolean field.

func (*Lease) IsStatic

func (l *Lease) IsStatic() (ok bool)

IsStatic returns true if the lease is static.

TODO(a.garipov): Just make it a boolean field.

func (Lease) MarshalJSON

func (l Lease) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)

MarshalJSON implements the json.Marshaler interface for Lease.
